So have the Ruskies been listening to Ahmadinutbar's threats against the US, Europe and Israel?

Of course -- why else would they bother?

#5 No, but by their actions, they have already made efforts by providing weapons to help the Iranians to kill Israelis and Americans.

The way around the Russian obstacle is for Iran to attack our forces first, hopefully ineffectively. Russia would be cowed by such an attack, losing any justification to defend Iran.

#6 Is there any provocation that will cause the West to respond to those who arm our enemies?

#7 Best response would be to ensure the Ukraine is removed from the Russian orbit.

#8 We have mishandled Russia totally since Putin took power. Crap, Condi is supposed to be a Soviet expert, certainly some of that knowledge must work with the rubble that remains after the wall collapsed.

Everytime a Russian says something like this the US should suggest Ukraine join NATO and that a growing laundry list of nations should get Permenant Seats in the security council to dilute the Russian power and further erode away the usefullness of that council while gaining the US kudos amung the third world.

And Bush should joke that we're considering nuking Putin's house hoping the fallout will help chill out the global warming. A little joke, off the record like that, would be reprinted in every major publication around the world in minutes. Putin might get the hint.
